Aircraft Alchemy: Creating the Ultimate RC B-58 Hustler Metallic Finish
Welcome to the final build chapter in our RC B-58 Hustler build series! Join me in this journey as I discuss the secrets behind the Aircraft Alchemy that created the entire finish! In this video we go through the installation of LED nav lights, the center weapons pod, and the meticulous process of painting the entire airframe in the proper Federal Standard colors and various shades of ALCLAD2 paints to achieve a very convincing and realistic looking metallic finish. All that's left now is to get her flown!
